Under Secretary of the Army Joseph W. Westphal receives final instructions prior to flight simulations training, June 25, 2012 at Fort Rucker, Ala. During the two-day visit, Westphal flew in several different types of rotary wing platforms, experienced state-of-the art simulations training, visited the U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center, and interacted with Soldiers in various stages of aviation training. "I think aviation is such a critical element in terms of the development of the force of the future," Westphal said. Westphal said his visit to Fort Rucker was an important part of understanding the role of Army aviation and how to further investments in the branch as combat operations in Afghanistan come to a close and the Army braces for potential budget cuts.
